Since September, fires in Australia have ravaged a total of nearly eight million hectares across the country, an area equivalent to that of Ireland. On Monday, army reservists deployed to areas ravaged by forest fires in three Australian states, with the mission to help assess the damage, restore electricity and distribute food aid or fuel to disaster areas .
In addition to the numerous emergency evacuations, the authorities must also manage the health impact, in large cities such as Melbourne or Canberra or in areas close to fires, of this smoke likely to cause breathing difficulties. If you live in Australia, your testimony interests us. How do you live the situation? Did you have to evacuate your home? Are you worried about what will happen next?
